mymodernmet.com: Spring is approaching and, in Japan, that can mean just one thing—it's cherry blossom season! For the international art collective teamLab, the changing season brings a fresh look to their population installations. Masters of creating immersive experiences, they keep things fresh by renewing their pieces as the year moves forward.

TeamLab Borderless has been a longtime interest of mine. During a brief visit to Tokyo a few years ago, I was lucky enough to visit their exhibition of wondrous video and media displays, and was absolutely blown away by the unreal experience of each of their rooms. I was really young back then, but I still remember how fascinated I was by the interactive qualities of each of their designs. The article talking about the museum’s newer features really reminded me of how simultaneously innovative and traditional this is; video and media design today is still an incredibly new aspect of theater, and the way TeamLab Borderless is able to create and control such immersive atmospheres is really inventive. However, this element of interaction and connection to the audience has been a longtime distinctive trait of theater. It is nice to see that come into play here, and I really do think that that makes this museum that much more of a cool, riveting space to explore.
This breathtaking installation of interactive media design blew my mind. I never knew much about TeamLab, other than that they are a video media deign company in Japan. This work of cherry blossoms made me quite nostalgic of Japan. The photos in the article really made it visually engaging and it was easy to understand what the experience consisted of. I didn't know that there was a whole museum dedicated to TeamLab, and it will definitely be on my to do list next time I am in Japan. This exhibit reminds me of all the Van Goh interactive exhibits that have been getting around all over America recently. I love that video media design is being incorporated in new and newer ways throughout entertainment. As technology advances in today's society, we are becoming more and more entangled with computerized designs. This is such a stride in video design and such an inspiration to new generations.
time I’ve been interested in scenic design, that is nothing new for me, but a couple of artistic experiences over winter break made me consider the power of more immersive environments than theatre, of which this would absolutely fall into the category of. Theatre engages is in visuals and sound, and also emotionally because there is another human onstage, but there is also something to be said for being engaged because you have control over the experience, you know you are in the room not because you are being drawn in through design but also because you are actually there, present. The uniqueness of the exhibit every run-through was super cool not only because of what it made, but because of the technology behind, I would love to be able to get more training in effects like this, recognizing that what is going on here is expensive and complicated, I definitely set standards and like ideals for work I want to make well beyond what is feasible.
